When to Get the Police Involved

Originally written by Jeff Durham, updated by the editorial team on 20th May 2026

Two common reactions to neighbour problems

When trouble arises with a neighbour, people often fall into one of two camps. Some assume their problem is too minor to bother the police with. They picture officers dealing with serious crime and feel reluctant to make the call. Others reach for the phone at the first sign of conflict, expecting police involvement to resolve the situation, though many disputes require time or additional resources to work through.

Neither approach fully addresses the complexity of when police involvement is appropriate. The police are a resource for specific situations, and knowing when to contact them can save time and lead to better outcomes.

When you should dial 999

Call 999 if a crime is happening right now or if you feel you are in immediate danger. This is what the emergency line exists for. Officers are dispatched to 999 calls as a priority, often within minutes depending on availability and location.

Examples of situations that warrant a 999 call:

A neighbour is physically attacking you or someone else
Someone is trying to force their way into your home
You have received threats and the person making them is present or nearby
You are witnessing serious criminal damage to property
There is domestic violence happening next door and someone is at risk of harm

Domestic violence is a serious criminal offence requiring immediate police intervention, even when the situation is not directly visible to you. If you hear sounds of violence or distress, call 999.

When you call, stay calm and give the operator your location first. Answer their questions clearly. They will send officers if the situation requires it.

Your situation may be slightly different. ask a question below ↓ and our editorial team will reply with our advice.

When to use 101 or report online

For matters that are not emergencies but still involve possible criminal behaviour, the non-emergency number 101 is the right choice. You can also report many issues online through your local police force website. Response times for 101 reports vary considerably and may take days or weeks depending on the nature and severity of the issue.

Use 101 or online reporting for things like:

Suspected drug dealing from a neighbouring property
Ongoing harassment that does not require an immediate response
Criminal damage you have discovered after the fact
Antisocial behaviour that happens repeatedly
Concerns about illegal activity you have observed over time

Reporting through these channels creates an official police record of your complaint. This does not guarantee police action will follow, but the information may prove useful if the situation escalates or if others make similar reports about the same person or address.

Be prepared to describe what happened, when it happened, and who was involved. Specific details help the police assess the situation properly.

When the police may not be the answer

Not every neighbour dispute is a police matter. Disagreements over noise, parking, boundaries, hedges, or general rudeness usually fall outside what the police can address. These are civil matters or local council issues rather than crimes.

For noise complaints, your local council environmental health team is often the appropriate contact. They have powers to investigate and take action against persistent noise nuisance. For disputes over property boundaries or rights of way, you may need legal advice or mediation. Citizens Advice can help you understand your options when police involvement is not appropriate.

Many areas have community mediation services that help neighbours resolve conflicts without formal action. Some police forces also run community policing initiatives where local officers can provide advice on ongoing neighbourhood issues.

Keep records of incidents as they happen. Note dates, times, and what occurred. If you take photographs, focus on damage to your own property or incidents visible from your home without intruding on others' privacy or creating confrontation. This documentation will be useful whether you end up involving the police, the council, or pursuing other options.

Be aware that making false reports or deliberately exaggerating incidents to police is a criminal offence that can result in prosecution.

Ask Problem Neighbours a Question

ProblemNeighbours Editor 18/08/2026 at 11:00 am

@KYC That sounds genuinely frightening, and the fact you've already got an OB number means you're on the right track keeping a paper trail. Since threats, intimidation and suspected drug use are now involved, this has gone well beyond a neighbour dispute and the police should be your first port of call, not the assistant chief. Log every incident with dates, times and any witnesses, and push for a formal case number each time. If you feel unsafe in your home, ask about a protection order too.

I suspect my neighbour does drugs , which leads her to intimidate ,harass ,dictate every thing i do in the same premise .
She can wake up find my clothes on the air line she will remove them despite the line being mine.
She can decide to cut all the air lines for airing clothes , I think for me to be stranded with my clothes ,claiming that the air line is at her door steps, though she wants to used it all alone .If i put my clothes on the very line which is mine when her clothes are not there she will remove them. If i ask her why she is doing that she does not responds to my concerns .
she will find me in the sink fetching water ,she will remove my jerrican before it fills up despite being the first in the queue before her .
These has happened severally for many years since she started living in the premise .I have reported her at the area assistant chief more than 3 times.
The first time she disappeared when the assistant chief summoned her, the second time she went. Then after that she organized with for the group or rough boys to come and threaten me in my own house as they smoke bhang and pouring water on my carpet .I have an OB number .

Aneighbour keeps on intimidating ,dictating what should be done when ,where and what time despite not incharge of my rent.

ProblemNeighbours Editor 22/05/2026 at 9:15 am

@Rock Your best bet is to ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is fully anonymous and they won't ask for your name or trace the call. You can also report it online via the Crimestoppers website if you'd rather not speak to anyone. Give them the address, rough times of the deals, descriptions of cars or people coming and going, and how often it's happening. The more detail you log over a few days, the more likely the police will act on it.

My neighbour is dealing drugs... it's his business but lately he is crossing the line people coming on the streets blasting music ... he is dealing weed in large quantities but I don't know how to report him to the police... just 1 hour ago he was smoking joint with his customers and doing the exchange ... he is doing this 6-5 times a day selling a lot of weed and now it's becoming more and more frequent... what should I do and how to report him

Be in absolutely no doubt, private family renters call the shots, especially with children. If you own you can't go council becouse you will have to declare it when you sell, it will likely put off your buyer and you might be stuck in the same situation ad finum.

The only answer is move if you can becouse once there is tension and resentment over an issue it never gets better. Always strive to live in the best area you can afford with the least people around you that you can to improve the odds of at least limited sanctuary.

Most of us just want a quiet life, noisy family neighbours and the feral wasters that infest working class areas are an absolute nightmare. No help, no support, becouse police only deal with crimes, disputes often esculate as conflict and combat gets inevitable.

It is understandable that homeowners do not want to live next to rented social accomodation, you actually have no say becouse landlords always bat for the tenants as the properties are cash cows.

Who wants the hassle?. The key is buying or renting in smart areas where there are lots of older people who have respect and values.I am sorry to say in working class areas if you shuffle round you just run the circles as you import yourself into same situation with the same arrogant people running the show using the system to their advantage.

Best way to win is to not play. Best of luck to you all, we all need it.

Hello there. I have somewhat recently moved into a new flat. And the people under me seem to have made it there lifes goal to make mine miserable. They seem ti make loud noises on purpose to irritate me. Play there tv loud intimately. And worse of all .seem to track my every movement i make in my flat. They spend hours and hours some nights creeping around the halls outside the walls of my flat listening in. And sometimes making faint tapping noises to scare me. I cant even move a foot in bed without them seeming to notice and that spurs them on. Ifnim as quiet as a mouse they do it. And if i move and make noise they do it. I also think they follow me in my car sometimes. It has made me very sick and thinking very dark thoughts. I am to afraid to go to the council as im worried how bad it will get once they find out i have done so. Thank you for your help...

Matt 23/03/2024 at 1:14 am

I moved into my rented property less than a week ago, my neighbour started playing loud music blasting it out literally all day from 9am up to 6pm..(one of the songs was on repeat for over 4hrs). The other neighbours say he's a bit weird and seemed ok but recently started playing loud music over the past few weeks like that. The next day i had a tradesman doing work inside to fix the boiler, when he felt the door kick inwards towards him . he stood up asking whoever was in front of him if he's alright..i went to the door and saw some tall dreaded guy just standing there. i said are you ok, he just stared said nothing turned around slowly and back into the flat. then came out outside but slamming doors on his way out (he had already kicked in the internal communal panel door out a few days earlier). when i came back home the next day, all of a sudden while unpacking a loud banging noise to my front door happened i came close to the door and could see it being kicked in by this guy then i heard him spit at the door...i went back inside to get my baseball bat..and heard him bang my front window...then saw the figure (this was all happening at mid-evening but it was night by then..i went back to the door..the bottom lock had been completely smashed and wood damaged..i shut it and called the police. They came..took statements and while in my room we all heard a whistling sound outside my window, so we went to check..the guy was crocuhed near my window. the policeman asked him to come over and whats he doing over there...as the two approached him he started attacking both of them with a large long pole, that he carried..he struck the police officer down still hitting him while on the floor, at that moment the femal officer Tazed him which he shook off and ran down the pathway up to the duel carriageway. i followed through at some point to see at the end the male officer down in the female officers lap. His elbow battered and blood/scars on his face, they had already called for backup. there was a helicopter and other police cars on the chase. i went back to the flat waiting until more cops came to collect the other officers laptops etc. and told me they had caught him but had to taze him up to 3 times before they put him down and arrested him.

I have absolutely no idea why he went off on me like that..he obviously had mental issues and i could smell the weed/cigarettes from his door at times when coming out of my house. The two dont mix but either way this guy was obviously looking to do me harm in some way. Yet my landlord after explaining this to them yesterday and asking for a transfer or termination of my lease are basically saying sorry but tough, you signed a tenancy agreement but we'll look to get him evicted with whoever the neighbours landlord is..etc. what are my options for getting a move or cancelling my tenancy with my landlord.

my recently moved in old couple in oppiste flat have wanted me out of my parents' home (owned by them) and invaded all my rental units situated far away and caused neighbors to steal,break in,tamper with all my rental units. I have lost job opportunties and housing rental options due to their handiwork and malicious gossip and stalkign and theft. All this is happening in a neighborhood unknown for theft. THis is breaking me mentally and financially.
I am unable to move quickly ,being a single woman without a steady job. I am affected by her vicious gossip and manipulations . She wants me out of t he parent' house so that she can 'live' in peace with her family. Started a pattern of gangsttalking and community harassment which was untoward in my area. I've moved 4 units in 6 months. Very unusual of the owner too ,Feeling unsafe everywhere i go. Destroying us(me,family) mentally,finacially. WHat should i do ? Feeling helpless.

Patience Personified 28/01/2023 at 9:09 am

Good morning,
I’ve sought support to cope with unfair anti social neighbour behaviour previously on a different site’ but the housing association discovered my complaints and still don’t believe me!
I’ve had to waste my precious and limited time sending multiple recordings across various and many now lost and stopped working devices , I’ve sent in logs written and typed, I’ve had noise monitor out in by the council, I’ve attended in person meetings and tried everything other than acting with aggression or taking it to court.
But now I’m not going to be kind any more!
Today I’m in so much pain including dental and I am not coping. I can’t get outside even to a pharmacy and in Thai flat I don’t even have the liberty to make calls in peace because of fear of my neighbour sharing my personal details with others. He and his equally vicious and racist neighbours have already loudly banged and verbalised the most offensive things about me including of my single status, my unemployment status (not that’s it’s ANY of their business!),my ethnic minority status, my obviously not having any family or friends, so essentially they’ve preyed on the fact I have no one and nothing to defend myself with other than me!
I am a lone living woman, with multiple vulnerabilities and concerns, and currently not in work and I have been subjected
I’m in the process of trying to find a different living space but as you will know it’s not an easy journey for us all to simply get up and go especially with limited social housing availability as well as financial struggles.
Plus it cost me time, stress and money just to get into this upstairs, small, unsuitable flat which was an empty and dire state over which I’ve had to cover the ugliness, the damage, the obscene painting and graffiti (another graffiti was discovered recently in the locked front shed) and honestly you wouldn’t believe how horrid a state of flat the housing association gave me!
Carpeted, wallpapered, and somewhat furnished (still no dining table, sofa, cabinet, coffee table or other things I consider essential to a comfortable home) I’ve made this flat that I rent my home, my headquarters, my hideaway from the world … only I’m not safe, I’m not free, I’m not okay!
The downstairs neighbour whilst seeming innocent to others is a definite pervert and I don’t make such accusations lightly or casually. He’s sat at bus stops when I get off the bus and then walks behind me, when he comes back on his bike he stops behind me for ages even though his flat in front of the steps I have to get up , he bangs (doing it now at 08:58), he’s called me a clown, a c***, and other offensive things and I’ve recorded it and shown together housing and they still do nothing about it,
I know when to choose my battles and I’ve been to rough so many traumas in my life but just think of the trouble for a woman who left home , became homeless, went to refuges, waiting ages on a social housing wait list, and finally got offe

crazycat 24/12/2022 at 2:49 pm

I live in a 55 and over park and i had ptsd but its now cptsd because of the manager stalking and harassing me every day while drunk as hell, i finally told him that it was not appropriate to conduct park business intoxicated, i recieved a 30 day eviction notice next day because the man fixing my roof was homeless, i got a restraining order and he was fired but not before enlisting people to spread gossip that was not true, and this week it went to a new level where 2 different guys made comments about my nipples and the other was worse, also caught a neighbor pointing a bebe gun at my cat , ive come to the conclussion that because im disabled that its ok, oh another neighbor spread the rumor that my best friends death was my fault, ive reported all this but im getting nowhere and has effected my health so much that my life is basically over, i do have many journals ,photos, text and can proof it , what should i do

My naighbour constantly sits in his flat every day and night smoking drugs the smell is unbearable Iam fed up of the smell it comes into my flat and makes it stink bad Iam always buying air freshener to try hide the smell but they don’t work the smell gets worse I wish the police would do something about this it’s making me feel really bad. He has a little dog that poos all over the garden so that added to the smell Iam just so fed up with him .

Monica 14/06/2022 at 7:27 pm

I have had a neighbor lying about me so I left her notes to stop. I even mentioned in a note that I heard she was moving as I heard from a few tenants. I told her I wish she did.
Then the board of directors got an attorney saying mold ( coming from wall) and bad floors are my responsibility to pay for. My attorney says it’s not.
I have complained to the maintenance man about incompetence in regard to no returned phone calls, telling me they are too busy and not being able to speak at a board meeting. I have complained via text to him. Is this considered harassment?

Newell 30/08/2021 at 9:26 am

I wanted Non Emergency.
I thought 999 was emergency
So I phoned 911 from a mobile in error and they said it was emergency services.
Just to confuse things further 112 in Europe or UK will put you through to Emergency services.

It turns out 101 is the local police number in the UK. I only got through to a voice system. Last time I tried to use the number was to report a left rucksack in a bus shelter. There could have been anything in it so I was not going to check it out. I was held in a queue for half an hour so gave up....

Mandy 03/07/2021 at 8:53 pm

Similar situation, so me I wont bother asking for help, they can discriminate me & say what the hell they like, in my eyes being homeless means I have nothing less to lose & people can say as many lies as they want, I was thought of then(joke) I'm not giving them a second thought, I wont lie & I cant be arsed with their lies, homeless means that stress goes away, no more loss, big sigh, shame on them, it may be them one day, & what you dont have you dont miss, nobody helps me & I helped them, they have to worry about life what they lose now I dont, they will be last chapter, let them be in a unhappy lifestyle, glad to get out of their neighbourhood, I will protect my life & face troubles as they come, but I wont be bullied, anymore, I'm ready to defend myself alone, I wont lose my pride on asking for help anymore, sad I know but now is important to me, so my advice stand up to them dosnt matter what material things mean theres a whole world out there forget the bad stuff em all live your life & be happy we only have 1 life let them wollo on sad lifes of others they are toxic cruel people you dont need them my 2 fingers go up to them bye sad ones . Hope you feel better as you ain't alone.

moderation.
I live upstairs and I am african, my neighbor downstairs is Caucasian, she harasses me everyday and claims i am disturbing her, even after I switched off all my appliances so as not to bother her, my neighbors interceded for me by asking her why she treats me like that because she was calling police everyday and I tried explaining to her that I have no control over my movements to the toilet and she screamed at me this morning like she doesn’t even want to see me at all. I am emotionally disturbed…. im being bullied by her because I am african…I tried complaining to the landlord but they took her side….im trying to move out for peace sake but my lease was recently renewed. I need help…

My neighbour . The male has been put in prison for dealing class A drugs, his partner had a baby not long before he was put away. She now drives a brand new 4x4 and had her garden fences extended in height to about 8ft, and wrought iron gates put up over the garden gates. And 2 pitbull like dogs that are huge. people come and go, all kinds of jobs have been done to the house she is supposed to work part time ,yet you rarely see the car move she is a young woman. And in my experience in life you couldn't possibly afford to buy your first time home out right .think bank of mummy and daddy had a lot to do with the house purchase as a cover. Something definitely is sitting right with me and other neighbour's we know something is going on but how can it be proved.

My neighbour has been saying my husband arranged to have a house burgled .that caused the lady who house was burgled to keep throwing dog mess in poo bags on our garden .police stop that after I caught her on cctv..then could not think who could have said such a horrible lie. Then we here she is saying my husband is a drug dealer he is 72 in bad health .now she has started putting her two fingers up as she passes me in her car .can’t stand much more of this

Next door neighbors continued even though I have asked them several times to stop throw their snow on my house. My basement windows are blocked as much as over 12 inches of snow, When the snow melt the water flow into my basement, wreaking my foundation. Whose shall I call for help?

Josephine 26/01/2021 at 7:35 pm

Does anyone have the answers to your respective problems? I can empathise with everyone of you and wonder whether anyone has had a favourable outcome since you last posted about your problems. Mine has high probability of drug dealing, with asb as a byproduct. We are a normal law abiding family with the opposite as neighbours. The Police appear very tolerant to our experiences of asb and we have put our property for sale to run away from what will be a long term problem. But we wished we were not pushed out of our home

I have been living next door to neighbours who change a lot a house of multiple occupation ever since the currant owner purchased the house there have been intermittent fumes and odours
Coming in foul smelling chemicals we have ha first. Cat piss acetone ethanol shoe polish and many other corrosive chemicals smells like meth at times but right now last night and the day and night before smells like antifreeze we get sore throats stinging eyes feel sick cough painful nose
Smells everything skin hair and so on we don’t sleep have to open the windows The landlord says nothing going on prove it if we prove it he will attend to it. My go has all the records of the injuries we have from the fumes I have been hospitalised once for five days and no one wants yo believe us Environmental health have said we will just have to get used to the fumes. Last night we had all the said symptoms and more the fumes came into our hous st 8pm and stopped at around 2am we surely have some human rights that we can live in our own home in safety

Bonita 21/11/2020 at 3:51 pm

I write this as I at a loss as what to do in my situation, I went to the council to report harassment by neighbours, nothing was done despite diary notes then next door neighbour threatened to beat us up as she was banging down the door council then went to her she denied it, then accused us of dumping rubbish at her door more than once, no proof, no previous complaints about this tenancy officer believed her, despite me telling them that neighbours were harassing us went round to neighbours with police to talk to them

Then received a letter tellling us we were the perpratrators of anti- social behaviour and noise nuisance, so they were all believed, they now want to speak to my son about an incident and he has done nothing, i have complained to the council and now am on a stage 2 complaint but the council are believing the neighbours who are all standing together, I am at a loss as what i can do, even the police are beliveing these neighbours and this has all happened after i sent my letter to the council.

These neighbours have been harasing us for some time, all summer we were not allowed to enjoy our garden, continuous noise in garden on a rota basis carried out by different neighbours, music being played when sitting out in the garden, none of them are being obvious with this harasment not direct.

The council and the police are believing all these neighbours and because they are all standing together, me and my son do not have a leg to stand on

The police have been called on me, dont even know why, did not say what they were there for, applied for a freedom of information request, was not given this information from the police, refused me the information.

we are at a loss, dont know what to do, tried everything we are being persecuted by these neighbours and I have no where to turn to, the laws in place are not working, police and council are harassing us as well, enabling more harassment from these neighbours.

Because more than one neighbour is saying the same thing, that makes us guilty of all the things they are lying about.

This situation is making us both ill, keep hitting a dead end.

I need help

I live in a building with three flats. The other two flats are occupied with two people who cook, smoke and deal crack.
It absolutely stinks and I'm often stunk out with varying smells not dissimilar to burning rubber and chemical odours which cling to clothes and skin and no amount of plug ins a air freshener sprays mask it.
Told the police back in April after telling the agency the properties are rented through of the problem, and this was their advice to me.
Here now towards the end of October and nothing has changed.
Different people in and out of the building. They even removed the lock on the main front door for easy access. Even in lockdown this happened and late night parties.
At a loss of what to do.
Even confronted one of the other tenants and he just blatantly lied and denied any wrongdoing.
His first words when I told him I knew what he was doing and asked him to stop were, "I drive for Asda and they do drug tests", as though this was evidence of his innocence.
But, to be sure, if I took it into my own hands to stop it then I'd certainly be the one arrested and punished for wrongdoing.

I read every single comment in this page and the most comment just the same exactly right now to my family when gangsters drug user and drug dealer next door. They are renting the house next to my house and they have been harrassing me and threatening me and my family for 2 years. Call police can not help anything. Please idea?

We live next door to a drug dealer. First it was the son, now it’s the mother since we called him out on it. The amount of people coming day after day is ridiculous.We don’t open windows and never sit outside anymore.Its a miserable existence.

Simply put the police dont want to act on neighbours selling drugs wouldnt be surprised if they are somehow getting kickbacks. We have issues on our road numerous complaints to police nothing is ever done. Useless puts no faith in the system.Makes the whole street stink dangerous with kids playing outdoors.

Hear i am 5 years on sleep deprivation from all i can describe as living next door to a probable cannabis factory along with them (neighbours)using an indoor generator all night every night, im exposed to vibrations and a deep heavy buzzing and mechanical droning noise the environmental agency picked up on unusual frequencies and an idling deasel generator noise but so far has taken no action the police, the council i feel has failed in their duty of care and i feel incredibly frustrated and let down, its like being tortured and ignored

Chrissy 16/05/2020 at 4:39 am

Same here. Yet mines a stalking ex, who has enlisted the local drug dealer to follow me, and gets all the other neighbours to harass me, telling others I flash my boobs at children and throwing stones at my windows. He still stalks me even though I dumped him before xmas, he is a pervert and I found he had 3 other women and they were all paying for his lifestyle and his house. I outed him and his lies, yet he has got all the locals to listen as they are all using the same dealer and all on cocaine, or heroin. They use their kids to attack also, and the person living below me is also a druggie and he tries to bully and upset me and my family. This is all been going on for 3 or 4 years now.. the ex has just used the gossip to stalk me and follow me before I met him..then convince me hes not heard anyone talking about me..and since splitting I've seen his in with all the cokeheads that inhad trouble with before, and hes everywhere I am..no matter what time of day..he will be there..watching and stating..and telling everyone I'm the bad guy. Police do nothing, they have said, somethings happens, then call..but until he does something, we cant do anything. Its hell on earth in this god forsaken offering strange town and I'm not alone with these points, the reviews on leysdown speak volumes. There is a definate bullying against women tactic going on in this town, a girl was rwped by 4 men in a caravan, last year.. the local cokeheads said she deserved it walking into the caravan, drunk...says it all. I have a daughter and a son 24 and 12, both asd, and the council, or police wont do anything. It's unbearable and we dont have any decent quality of life

I havedealt with this bullying for 10years and currently although that being moved, she’s hired other neighbors to continue harassment behaviors as she still possess anger at me for purchasing the home SHEWANTED! I’ve been a social worker/therapist for 40 years and living in this Dysfunction Junction of sick ocuopaths and a stocker/drug manufacturer behind me has been the worst hell ever ibut I can’t afford to move and rarely receive police assistance as she reportedly gave donations to this police jurisdiction.

I have drug dealing neighbours living next door to me. I called 101 to tell them about the drugs being stored at the property and the smell they make. If it's not an emergency the police don't care, might as well tell them my neighbours are selling smarties.

Richie 18/12/2019 at 7:25 pm

I'm being stalked daily in my own flat banging floors walking heavy with boots on this person has a history off upsetting his neighbours who live underneath him 6people in 3yrs have vacated the property I'm number 7 my housing association arnt doing much to help me I have bipolar and personality disorder I just feal like living on the streets much quieter

Minnie 21/07/2019 at 3:19 pm

This sounds nothing compared to the ones I’ve read but it’s making my life a misery. My neighbours smoke foul cigars and cigarettes and blow the smoke out of their porch , or use the garden close to our boundary. I cannot sit in my small strip of garden or have my windows and doors open. I have had to put up with foul stenches from things they burn—— chimney right next to me and leaking fumes from their oil tank which is spasmodic and worse in hot weather. This also is right outside my my door. I have tried talking to them but they have taken offence. They are bullies and manipulative people.
I have health issues and they compound my stress anxiety and depression. Do I have a chance on someone explaining that all he needs to do is smoke some where else in his garden away from me. It’s making me feel ill.

Ange 29/05/2019 at 10:36 pm

Hi I am going through the same thing verbal physical abuse of one of my neighbours I have rung the police and I suffer from anxiety as well and have had death threats

None 25/03/2019 at 12:24 pm

Hi Angie I suffer the same condition as yourself.
And am going through as much as you are (almost simular circumstances.)
If you would like to talk or get together via here to support oneanother and try get justice served to these bullies we are suffering from then please write a comment to myself.
I literally cannot take this any longer and it would be nice to try talk to someone going through the same thing.
Kindest of regards.

I am living in a Bro Myrdyn property and I have been here a year now.
Within the first weeks of being here I was assaulted by my neighbour of whom is an alcoholic and 52 years of age.
I have had hate crime logged, actual assault, and crimes against my religion as she called me a bible basher due to myself being a Psychic Medium.
I was also attacked by her friend and that friend is friends with the whole street.
I have had to put up cameras (CCTV)
3 Camera's in order to try protect myself.
I was advised to do this by my housing association and need to ghbours reported me for having them up(clearly they are worry what they are doing wrong in order to complain about my camera's)
So it first started with the neighbour of whom assaulted me, now she has the whole street hyped up and bothered about my camera's. The Housing Association stated a few weeks ago after attending the ng my home that they had complaints about cameras but stated we are happy with them and you are protecting yourself at the end of the day so don't worry.
The neighbours have all now got together and are seriously harrassing me.
They had a letter sent to me from housing staring I need sort out my littering and putting rubbish out to early.
This was not the case but nonetheless the surrounding areas and in my shared garden was cleaned up and I bought a storage unit for any rubbish bags.
They really did not like this so I was sleeping and heard my doorbell being rang non stop and my boyfriend got up to see (it was early in morning) it was a neighbour of whom I do not speak to or really know screaming that we are paedophiles and if she finds out that any camera's are capturing her children then look out.
She screamed you have take aways, you have taxis, (who's watching who)
This is my business.
I have always been a sufferer of extreme anxiety and suffer mental health issues, agraphobia, borderline personality disorder, Aspergers /Autism spectrum and now I have to keep living from my bedroom beinh to frightened to leave.
The Housing Association have been having multi agency meeting with the main aim apparently to move me.
This was be the ng done when just one neighbour attacked me, now I have to fear all they are doing nothing and leaving myself in danger.
I have to leave the home everyday to get my blood sugars done and get my shopping yet I physically cannot do this.
Ive already taken two overdoses due to this and yet I just told the police and they said we can come around but we are in a police car and not unmarked.
That they have no unmarked today and can get an unmarked in next few days maybe.
Its so wrong this!
I'm still scared even of any police presence.
I'm a prisoner in my own home.
I cannot hold on to my life much longer

Angle 06/03/2019 at 2:51 pm

I have emotionally unstable personality disorder and since my neighbour moved in she has been mentally torturing me at first she was constantly begging me for my Hoover mostly I started getting a bit anxious of lending her my stuff cause I know I might never get things back she had my only Hoover for a month when I took the advice from the police on how to get it back she shouted at me saying I should have knocked IF I needed my hoover back i tried to tell her I did knock 3 different times but she was ignoring the door to me then she started letting my car tires down endangering my life and other peoples lives when I got a electric pump she started sending her drug addict woman battering mate to stalk me she said she doesn't know him and he was in her garden stood next to her living room window watching me she was absolutely sure he was watching me not her she said she don't associate with people like that when her drug addict sister lives with her and the father of her son is a woman batterer she told me 8 months ago that cross keys were moving me but they ain't told me anything and there are way too many things she said that makes me know all this mental torture is down to her and recently I had my internet connection cut off cause a female told bt she was moving into my home and wanted to take over my phone line and only my phone line and now i dont have online gaming to distract myself from suicidal thoughts and i believe she was the one that had my phone line changed cause i reported her for benefit fraud my anxiety and paranoia is a hundred times worse than before and im frightened to death of what she is going to do next the problem is i cant stop her from driving me to suicide and all i really want is to be left alone im not allowed to record my car the police wont do anything about my stalker until he hurts me or kills me first and bt refuse to confirm my suspicion that my neighbour was the one that lied to them cause of some data protection act bull s**t it took bt 3 days to finally tell me it was a brand new account and the woman never had bt before but they still wont tell me if the woman is still getting bt now or not nobody will help me without proof and getting proof is like extremely impossible I hate the fact that the law is protecting criminals i really want to prosecute her and press charges but i cant with no proof and im powerless to be able to get proof

Nicky 03/01/2019 at 4:13 am

At 4am my neighbor ran down to his old house screeching he wanted his telly and the people in the house said no. After he kicked up the biggest fuss they gave in. He walked up the road then realized his remote wasn't given to him. He went back down to scream at them even more to were the woman yelled out her window, 'it isnt even your telly' and then some other man ran out the house and smashed up the telly or the man who had the telly did. They live down the street and i didn't want to get too close or involved. Hes walked away and its been 10 minutes, should i call 911 or my local police but is it too late to call. I was wondering as they woke me up and he was making threats for tomorrow.

I dont know if i should call in case they come back or not.

Rene 26/10/2018 at 12:40 am

I live in a house something like a townhouse. My neighbors listen to all me and my families conversations and somehow twist what we say to start trouble. They have been harrassing me and threatening me and my family for months. I can't go to my appointments at the clinic because I'm afraid to go outside. I have a brain aneurysm and high blood pressure. I suffer from migraine headaches and I have been looking weight. They are talking about coming in my house to hurt me and my family this very minute. I can hear them talking now I am so afraid and tired of living in fear. They said if I call the police they will kill me. I need help.

Hall.22 23/09/2018 at 4:18 am

My ex partner buys large quantities of drugs from someone who delivers it to his door and has them in his house where his six children are staying two of which are mine. My children have seen large amounts of cannabis (However I have reason to believe he sells class A drugs also) and then goes out for most of the day selling. I’ve contacted social services who have done nothing as the kids are too scared to say anything against their father due to getting in trouble and other then that I have no hard proof but I do know of people in his area who buy drugs from him. I have also contacted crime stoppers who I’m sure have many cases to look at but again have done nothing. I’m very very sure he deals drugs but I’m unsure of what to do next. I do not want to force my children to make a statement against their father if nothing is going to be done to stop him and they fear he will be cross with them.

Leigh 19/07/2018 at 4:55 pm

Does continuous staring and been pulled mucky looks everyday class as harassment. I've also been verbally abused and threatened by these people. The staring and mucky looks have been going on for over a month.

Jules 05/07/2018 at 6:18 pm

My neighbour waited for me to walk my dogs and then followed me round the park shouting in my face and I kept telling him to leave me alone but he wouldn’t then tried to come in my house.
My husband spoke to him and told him to leave me alone, I said I wanted to call the police as I’m scared but my hubby said it’ll blow over!!
I’m at home alone from 5am til 7pm weekdays and I’m afraid and nervous of going in or out of my home!

Susie 25/06/2018 at 9:37 pm

My neighbours kids keep playing by my house and their ball hitting my car. I’ve told them to stop many of times but, teenagers, when you tell them to stop something it just gets worse. Their guidiens call them off but because they don’t really keep a short leash on them, they argue with them and continues just coming back. I’m tired of sitting outside trying to be a deterrent. I just feel like I’m wasting my time and as soon as I leave they’ll just come back. I can’t live with that fear of something breaking and I can’t even prove then that it was them. What can I do?

Nannanonose 21/05/2018 at 11:05 am

I'm being bullied and harassed by my next door neighbour because I have facial cancer. I moved here nearly 5 years ago to be closer to family. She has posted nasty things online spread lies about me throughout the area leaving me isolated. When I leave my house or go in my garden she invites her visitors to gather and stare at me. Her son and a friend of hers assaulted my daughter. She bangs and disturbs my sleep. She tells people so many lies about me there's too many to mention. My landlord suggests mediation but she still continues to harass me and belittle my cancer. I want it to stop. I just want to be left alone.

Alias 22/04/2018 at 12:56 am

Told the neighbours loads of times to turn down there loud music but they dont even care, my husband went to them to do the same thing and as soon as he leaves for work they put there music back on even LOUDER
They have kids that constantly scream and yell and swear in the neighbourhood, come by my door and destroy our grass and leave rubbish outside my front door
Emailes the council and nothing has been done wondering if the police is the best option

Molly67 20/04/2018 at 2:05 pm

My ex is constantly calling me at late in the late and leaving text messages. He calls me vile stuff and the abusive texts go on and on. I've blocked him from everything but I am still seeing these messages pop up on my phone ??? Help. Should I hand these over to the police. I'm done .

Worried 15/04/2018 at 4:26 pm

I have a problem with neighbors two men I live downstairs they live above me always creeping by my doors and windows trying to peek every move I make in my house they follow banging on floor acting like they see me shutting what I’m doing calling me stupid I go in bathroom they band saying they hear me trying to yell out what I’m doing everyday they do this all day every where I go in house I go in room to bed they over me saying you ain’t sleep acting like they know what I’m doing and one of the guys hide in house never comes out Landlord don’t know he’s there think he hiding from cops but it’s bad and they don’t care that I hear them either I told Landlord nothing done yet

Sofedup 24/02/2018 at 4:00 pm

For almost 6 months almost constant noise from banging, thumping, DIY etc - but always just within sociable hours. But has included DIY around 0800 on weekend mornings and similar. Council no help.

Several times coming to my door in an aggressive manner, wish I'd called police. But felt at the time it would be dismissed.

Feel I can't relax in own home. They part own so have more rights as I rent.

ProblemNeighbours Editor 19/02/2018 at 11:40 am

Maybe the neighbour was too frightened to knock? They may have feared you were being attacked etc.

Shelly45 18/02/2018 at 11:10 am

My neighbours called police on me last night as my 18 year old son was screaming because he was losing at ps4 so we ended up arguing as I was trying to calm him down
This was about 10pm police arrived at 12.15 I’m actually really annoyed as neighbour should’ve just knocked

ProblemNeighbours Editor 29/01/2018 at 11:31 am

Do any of the other neighbours have their suspicions too? Could you group together and make a joint representation to the police about this? If you don't feel the police have taken sufficient action, you could consider making a complaint to the IPCC/

Elvie 26/01/2018 at 4:10 pm

for 3 years I've been reporting to the council the enviro and police of cannabis growing next door ie 24/7 vibrations and droning and smells and unusual activities..the council @enviro have just closed the case on the daily sleepless /night noise torture..the quick visits by strangers shows like they are also dealing ..i live in Cornwall and my life has been made miserable over the last 3 years and i feel so isolated as no one seems to care grrrrrr

ProblemNeighbours Editor 01/12/2017 at 2:28 pm

Cannabis is illegal in the UK. The police may take action but are well-known for "overlooking" domestic use/growers.

Sd 30/11/2017 at 1:04 am

My neighbour must be growing cannabis in his loft because the smell coming through into our loft and through our hatch is very strong. Shocking actually. It's been the same for months now but stronger than ever - is that illegal and if so would the police be interested? I'm sick and really aggrieved of my bedroom smelling of it all day everyday because I'm just under the hatch.

ProblemNeighbours Editor 29/11/2017 at 2:26 pm

You could try either:
- the local police or PCSO
- Mediation, Alternative Dispute Resolution services
- Action via the civil courts

Perry 29/11/2017 at 12:04 pm

We have had problems with our neighbours for about 15 years we have had damage to cars caravan my wife has been assaulted been reported to the council just for having a she'd put up in the garden police been called no end of time it is a family of them who live close by we have had to put up cctv all around I own my house and lived there 23 years it went quite for a bit but now started again at the end of my tether non of them work but we do can anybody advise me

ProblemNeighbours Editor 16/10/2017 at 1:00 pm

Report this to the police?

I THINK MY NEXT NEIGHBOUR IS DEALING DRUGS OR THEY ARE SMOKING IT!

ProblemNeighbours Editor 21/08/2017 at 10:43 am

You can call the police while it's happening (on non emergency number unless you think someone is in danger). If it's general noise/neighbour disturbance, then try your environmental health department.

Annoyed 17/08/2017 at 9:10 am

We have neighbors 2 doors down and they are fighting with each other constantly. It's none of my business but they are fighting also in such a time like 11pm, 1am, 3am and we can't sleep. They are running. And shouting all over street and it's really loud. That what is happening every or every other night. I don't want to tel them something as I am scared, because they seem to be od drugs. The also have little boy. I feel so sorry for him that he has to grow up in such a place. What can I do? Can I call police? Thanks for your advice.

ProblemNeighbours Editor 31/07/2017 at 2:13 pm

You should report any suspicious behaviour like this to the police.

J 28/07/2017 at 12:03 pm

I moved in to a flat 4 months ago and I have had nothing but bother with my upstairs neighbor. I have 2 young children, they are 1 and 2 years old so they can be a bit of a handful. Every time they make a noise she bangs on her drums or plays really loud music. She has never came and spoken with me about any problem. She has told my neighbours that I have been hurting my children because they are screaming all the time, they scream and shout when they don't get there own way or because they have been fighting with one another. I went to my doctor immediately and had my children checked as this is such a serious accusation and he told me not to worry that the children were just going through a stage they would grow out of. Because this woman has been so vicious in her rumours I decided maybe I should just keep an eye on what she's doing. A previous tenant told me she was pure evil to her and the landlord has also been unable to do work on the property because she won't allow them near her part of the building. On certain days of the week she disappears for a short period of time comes back to the flat for a short period of time and then goes down to her garden shed. If any one within that time appears at my home she listens to our conversations and I can hear her footsteps following us around the house she then follows my guests to the front door where she then disappears down the garden the same routine happens every time. She's is seen as an upstanding citizen and gets involved with the community but really she is just pure evil. On the particular night that I am talking about she paced around her living room until she received a phone call where she went out to her camper van around midnight and placed a packaged under the front bonnet a car appeared 10mins after she placed the package there and picked it up. She went back to her flat and never made a noise the rest of the evening. I am very unsure of what to do any advice would be most appreciated

ProblemNeighbours Editor 16/06/2017 at 2:37 pm

There's no harm in a discreet phone call to your local PCSO or council officer if it's a council tenant.

Mazipan 14/06/2017 at 3:55 pm

A neighbour has recently given me information that a woman across the street is growing cannabis! I couldn't say for definite but it could be the reason why she hasn't reported a hole in her roof to the council! Some days there is a very strong smell and I wouldn't put it past her to be growing! What would you advise?

Kayla 20/03/2017 at 12:09 am

Since 10th January I have had threats,verbal abuse,rumours spread, people outside my door or in person indimating me ,my 6 month old daughter ,my partner and/or any visitors .. They have now gone steps further to try stacking one of my visitors whilst holding my child then tonight have 6 men 4 females trying to bring down my door threatening and attacking my family and visitors.. Police Socail service council and staff at my proberity are aware however because it's 3-4 of them (who live there) against just me I am being annoyed I have logged reported and recorded yet nothing is being done? I have reached out and begged for help please what can I do ? Me and my child are seriously act risk but it's them playing the victim ?

Becbec 17/02/2017 at 9:33 am

Please help....
I've been having a bit of trouble with my neighbors my car wing mirror has been ripped off and someone has gone under my car and disconnected the engine I had a macanic out and he said what has been done could only be done by a Macanic as you would have to know about cars to. Be able to do this. My neighbor used to work on my car and seems strange that we have fallen out and now this. It I have no proof! They have also put a cctv camera facing my property will the police do anything?

Nem 04/02/2017 at 10:11 pm

I live in a flat with my husband . I pay rent in this flat so its not my flat. My cousin brother sister in kaw and 2 babies lived here. Downstairs they re screamig shouting banging smashing or throwing things swearing crying and drunken people smoking weed all and gave me nearly heartattack when they are fighting my heartpace was going faster. Could you please not tell them its me . I dont like to be a noisy neighbours and bad relationship but this is second time.

ProblemNeighbours Editor 20/01/2017 at 11:40 am

If you fear for you safety, you should of course contact the police. It is definitely worth talking to your landlord again about this though as his/her tenant's behaviour is having an adverse effect on others in the building.

Bluemeany 19/01/2017 at 12:43 am

Our neighbour ( in the bottom flat of a shared flat) is usually a good bloke. However, he does get, on occasion, extremely drunk. When he does so, he starts shouting death threats at people/ nationalities in general very loudly, swearing and can be heard banging the wall and throwing furniture. On one occasion he tried to forceably and violently enter the next-door neighbours ( who he has no grievance with - he was just drunk). They reported him to his landlord at the time when he tried to get in. I am also keeping a log of every time it happens. My concern is that he is clearly violent and angry when drunk and that we share the house: i.e. there is only one inside door between him and us. We are three slight girls in our twenties: he is 6ft and heavy built in his 50's. We can't confront him, which means if he does try to get in, even slightly, we'll have to call the police. Is this the right thing to do? As I say, he's a good neighbour 95% of the time and I don't want to get him into trouble. But I do want us to be safe.

fancydat 30/12/2016 at 10:58 pm

Hello I have been living in my house for 19 yrs and what I don't understand is that if you don't want to chat to someone then you don't have to, the lady that was living there and her husband they was so nice retired she never really came out because of her legs, but every Christmas she and her husband would send us little presents and I would do the same they both have passed now 6 years on the daughter bought in people to fix up the property and when finished she said she was going to rent it anyway she took in one of the men that was fixing up the property anyway this man seemed to be very forward so I just would'nt chat to him, so this is where it begins the putting up big wooden screens inside to watch tv through a projector mind you through the window which was funny anyway so it carried on and on and on at this time my mum passed and then my father so we went to Jamaica to lay them to rest, anyway this is now nearly 5 yrs since cut a long story short I reported him to the council many of times but they was scared because it's private rented so i phoned noise control on more than one occasion so this time they sent a letter and I got one to to let me know they sent it to him, on that very Saturday he started again drilling and banging so I just could'nt believe it so entered out my back door and low and behold he was on a ladder and i started and in my angry i pick up my glass lighting that are in the ground and just through glass went everywhere next thing he called the police I have never been in trouble with the police before they arrested me for about 8 hrs I was down there and they let my go with a don't what it called but I had to go back there and then now comes the bomb shell they say that they going to give my a caution but me not knowing what it is just wanting to get out of there no one telling me that I can get help when going back down there they got me on being a person not knowing about the law but very since I have been online looking at peoples views on,they never even came and checked the letters like I told them, so someone told me to seek help about not understanding the problems I'm feeling it really upset me to he was the one who was giving the problem in the first place?

Sorry it's such a long Comment but there is a lot more

Thank You

Katie 22/12/2016 at 12:49 pm

August 2014 my partner and I got into an argument.. The neighbour called the police. She lied from the start saying that she tried to talk to me and I acted like an animal, so she had to report it to the emergency serveries! Obviously the police contacted the social serveries. Because I wasn't arrested and my kids werent taken- they have been sitting in they house since August in silent reporting every sound my kids make, will even mute their TV at night to listen to me go to the toilet!! They stand outside my home looking in my windows (front and back). My partner has had to put up frosted glass because of this! (You can still see in and out as the sides are still clear). At night they look through my front room windows- he has even put his face on my window to look in!! They have repeatedly tresspassed into my garden! A few weeks ago I was in my bathroom, I heard my gate being opened but thought nothing of it until I heard her at her window telling him I was still in my house.. I ran downstairs to find my gate wide open! I continually hear them shouting on the phone "oh so she is getting arrested and her kids are getting taken"!! She has even said that if we are not moved that she will kill herself!! I cannot live like this. We are just trying to live our lives but they just want to make it hell so we leave!! Please if anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Anony 19/12/2016 at 12:18 pm

I have now become the perpetrator from the victim being assaulted as I had no independent witnesses and these 4 neighbours have made up a story that it was me that assaulted one of these 4 but also each have now said that I've assaulted 3 of them. The police know that I'm being targeted but the council have gone off probability and now I've been served with an injunction order with power of arrest for 6 months which means I can't move away from these evil people that are causing all the problems. They act like they control the avenue and can do any kind of ASB because they all stick together with the same story. The only way out of this is to get photo evidence that is very clear like CCTV or a body cam as I can't even step foot on the avenue in case they attack me which they are threatening me with. Then I would get arrested cos they would all make up their story by turning it around onto me. That's the power they have, we can't afford the technology that is needed to go all the way to court as we did have footage of my partner being assaulted but the police said the mega pixel wasnt clear enough for the judge to have facial recognition, basically, we need better camera technology. We desperately need help, my partner is terminally I'll and our health anxiety depression is worse than ever. We feel imprisoned in our own home. Can anyone help

ProblemNeighbours Editor 15/12/2016 at 11:13 am

Report this to your local police.

For the last two weeks I have been taking my daughter to school and bk and as you walk up my street ther is a huge smell of cannabis from the bottom to half way up what cam I do

G 14/12/2016 at 1:48 am

My partner and I have been targeted by 4 same neighbours with threats, violence, constant harassment and now criminal damage to our home and assault on both of us. I've been suffering from this since I moved in 3 yrs ago and now my partner also this year. It has escalated dramatically this year and also now since they've found out we have a car. Our health has deteriorated so much this past year, not only from these nasty, evil people but I was hit by a car as a pedestrian in April then July was assaulted in my front garden by my neighbour that lives directly across from me. Unfortunately through lack of evidence not having CCTV the police couldn't take it further and not only that, the 4 same neighbours tried to say I was the perpetrator even knowing I was still on crutches from the car accident and covered in mud and grass from where she jumped on me from behind, dragging me into my front garden. With the housing officer we've had no support at all,we even asked to move house before it got this far. Yet, the same 4 neighbours approached the same housing officer only weeks ago and somehow I was then served an injunction order with the power of arrest for originally 12 months but my solicitor got it down to 6 months meaning also we can't move away from this nightmare nor even able to have the necessary support of CBT therapy, as suggested and documented by the medical assessment doctor, in support of the trauma and injuries from the car accident not to mention the assault from the neighbour too. My partner has a terminal illness which you can imagine with added, unnessesary stress can contribute to his quality of life shortened. We are told we need a camera on our body like the police have but the expense is more than our budget. We have to get taxis everyday to and from the house to car for our safety. We have had 3 more incidents since I was served the injunction order including another assault and more criminal damage to our so called home of which the housing officer refuses to come to take a look. We have pictures but weve been advised not to engage with the housing which is making us more depressed with no hope. Please if there is anyone out there that could help us in any way to get us out of this dark hole, my gosh we would love to hear from you. Thank you for your time out to read and if anything it may let others know they're not alone and it needs to be more seriously addressed.

For 2 years, we have lived in nothing short than living hell.
We moved into a smaller property in 2014 and since then, the neighbour below us has been a nightmare. Parties that last for 18 hours at a time. Furniture gets thrown at 3am when she falls out with the people she invites in, usually when the alcohol has ran out. Screaming, shouting, arguing. I have been verbally abused on numerous occasions for which she is now on an abatement notice and Community resolution order, well both her and her mother as they both attack me when they get chance. The Police have been called when she is kicking at the door, screaming that she is going to kill me. We've had windows smashed in our car that cost us over £300 to fix. Scratches to the metal work and she wrote profanity all over the front door. Council are involved and we have provided dozens of noise sheets, been put on their standby service so they can witness the level of noise. The only snag there is, she gets louder and louder after the 1am cut off then all hell let's loose. We have had sound recording equipment fitted by the council who state her noise is out of order, yet we are still in the same situation. She has been hand served a warning letter only a week ago and all this week, we have lived in nothing short of hell. Our car was vandalised, she is banging on the ceiling and floors, slamming doors and goading her dogs to bark. To me she just seems untouchable. I am really lost as to what to do. The council tell us to call their noise team up until 1am but as I previously stated, she starts after 1am. We had to fit CCTV to our home due to the damage to the car and threats against me. We also record sound and the council asked for that on DVD but cannot promise it will even get used when you can clearly hear the tenant screaming "get out of my house" 2 years of this and I already suffer with depression and emotionally cannot tolerate much more. I beg the council every week to help and I know they must be trying hard.

I am now at a point of being scared to be home alone when my partner goes to work. I work from home so at home all day, (other than the two times I need to call out to medicate my elderly father in law who has Parkinson's and suffers memory loss) I record all interaction with her, her Mother, her friends. All of them are horrid to me. We are quite people and don't bother anyone but in all honesty I know I'm heading for a breakdown.
I really don't know what to do.

ProblemNeighbours Editor 21/11/2016 at 10:42 am

Unfortunatelythis is standard procedure, if you want the EHO at the council to act on the problem, you really have to help by keeping a rough log of the noise etc. If that doesn't help, your only other option is private legal action which could be very costly and will also require evidence.

Our neighbour separated from her husband a few months ago and straight away a new boyfriend moved in. She has a 17 year old daughter from a previous relationship who still lives at the house. Throughout the summer they have been very noisy, clearly drinking, lots of shouting. The problem is that a few times I've heard it getting out of control. I can hear shouts and screams and 'ow, ow, ow' noises. I can't tell if it's the mum or the daughter but one time it was definitely both screaming out hysterically and he was shouting. I feel like I should do something but I've already been round once and told them the screaming is keeping me up. If I call the police they will know it's me. I don't know if I'm overreacting but I'm worried that the 17 year old is in danger. I don't know don't what to do. I was about to dial 101 tonight but I'm worried it sounds worse than it is and I'll look like a moany neighbour.

Lou 29/07/2016 at 7:06 pm

Having come back from a weeks holiday. I've found out that one neighbour has gone up and down the street complaining about my daughters caravan which was in my drive. It had graffiti on it but they also had friends visiting.
I don't know what went of as on the sat I was unloading my luggage to be told by next door neighbor of over 25yrs tat bloody caravan needs to go all theses people coming day and
Night.
Then on the Sunday I said to her husband that we had sorted the caravan to go elsewhere and he said some thing abusive which I didn't hear I said what and he walked away.
Can I get an arasment order on them. Plus we thing a neighbor has a video pointing at my property which my 13yr old grandson visits I need advice on what to do

Capri-sun 20/05/2016 at 8:05 pm

Tonight my brothers and his friends where playing out doing paracor? Jumping and running thing and when they were playing some people who live around here started shouting with aggressive language threathing the children and the man felt like it was okay to chase after the children..what should I do?

ProblemNeighbours Editor 25/04/2016 at 2:34 pm

This is not a typical response from the police, they are usually helpful in this kind of instance.

Ver 24/04/2016 at 6:22 am

We got on well with our neighbour for past 3 yrs, helped each other out a fine times like neighbours do. I made a simple request for his wife to stop dumping dead flowers on the bank outside our house. Was told to F off. Also his daughter was quite rude and aggressive in the back ground. They had been doing this for a while as they are not keen gardeners and don't have a compost heap. I asked nicely and they made it plain that they did not think it was the wrong thing to do. When he swore at me I said it was not on to speak to me in that way, he just kept saying F off. My husband heard him and went over and made the same request for them not to dump stuff on our garden and not to swear at me. He flew into a rage, threatened to hit my husband, the daughter being abusive as well in the background. He then punched my husband in the face. Luckily my husband fell backwards onto a grassy bank with this guy punching him and pinning him down, verbally threatening him. I rushed out and pulled him off my husband by his shoulders. My neighbours wife, daughter shouting and calling us names. Could not believe it. Just over a trivial request he became so aggressive. Got nowhere with the police, they said we needed an independent witness, video evidence etc. and if we took him to court for assault the case would be thrown out through lack of evidence. My husband went to the hospital and fortunately only cuts and bruises. So basically he has gotten away with it.

ProblemNeighbours Editor 04/04/2016 at 10:18 am

Have you reported this to the police?

Ren 01/04/2016 at 12:14 am

My next door neighbour is making life hell. She moved in 7 months ago and is racially abusive towards my young son. She threatens to get him beaten up and this has been going on for a few months about 4 months after she moved on next door.
It breaks my heart that a grown woman with kids of her own can threaten and swear at a child for no reason but because she feels she can get away with it like previous neighbours in the area who have been racist and got away with it.

Enid 13/02/2016 at 8:03 pm

For a year iv been keeping a daily record for 5he council and environmental health as my neighbours have this humming droning vibration noise coming from their house, sleepless nights headaches and anxiety iv been suffering from...They keep a low profile but iv been wondering what the hell have they got going on in their! Sometimes feels like my whole house is vibrating

Holly 23/01/2016 at 5:00 pm

I had a friend who lived on the fourth floor, i'm on the first floor, but she lived in the 2nd block of flats whereas i live in the 1st block, she fell out with me because i couldn't afford to include her in the meal part of my wedding but she was invited to everything else on the day, also some of my family i haven't included as it is only close family and friends for the meal.
She decided to tell my best friends i didn't like them, she told my best friends husband that she'd cheated on him when she didn't, and she doesn't even know my best friends husband! She has phoned me off of witheld pretending to be her friend accusing me of things i'd said or done when i haven't, and now she's called social services and made false allegations towards me about my child. I have told the police and i have told my landlord, the council, except when they rang her to tell her to leave me alone, she made another false allegation that i was racist or my friend was racist to her when that wasn't the case, and now i've been sent a tenancy warning letter, i don't know what else to do i just want her to stop, leave me and my friends alone and get on with our lives, if i see her i don't say anything i look the other way just so she can't say anything, i've written down dates and times when she has said and done stuff towards me or my friend, i'm just worried she'll do something else to ruin my life.

Chris 30/12/2015 at 12:21 am

There is usually chemical smells,or some unidentified smells coming from next door. I have called the police many times .The police tried their best to be helpful but they stopped visiting because the man next door threatened to sue for harrassment.I stopped phoning them because for fear of wasting police time because the smell usually don't last too long but it is constant.
I suspect the man next door is purposely harassing me with the smell so I can move.Now he had built a studio in his back garden and was given permission by the council to build it without them notifying me.He usually goes into the studio when the smell starts.
He owns his house and I had been told by the police that there is nothing much they can do.
I don't want to move from my house,I have spoken to the neighbour many times about the continuos smell which has been going on for about 4 yrs.
Is there anything at all I can do?

Steffie 20/11/2015 at 3:47 pm

Hi! I have a serious problem with a neighbor. Currently I am looking for a job so the most time I am at the house doing applications and working on learning new languages so I can hear what is happening in the building. I moved 2 months ago in this building and since then I notice weird movements from a person that lives alone next to our apartment. There are some specific nights e.g. Monday and Thursday nights that after 01:30 (the hour that I am going to sleep) cars are stopping for 5 minutes and people come upstairs for 1 minute in front of our apartment door. And that repeats with other cars and people until 04:30 or so. This person does not work during the day cause I always hear him in the house and so how can he support himself and pay the rent? The apartment I live in is quite expensive (800 euro per month). So if he doesn't sleep at night and he is here during the day how does he support himself? I do not know exactly what this person does and I am really scared to open the door at night while I listen to all this outside my door but all this is really weird. If this is not drug dealing then what it is? Cars stop and people come only for 1 min upstairs...Please tell me what do you think? What should I do? I am really worried that this happens outside my house and I feel I can't do anything about it. I am really scared.

P.S. I don't want to say in which city I stay but I live close to Paris and with all the things that happened with ISIS I am extra scared. Don't want to judge anyone and I have Syrian friends but this guy scares me. He is certainly Muslim and probably and drug dealer and I don't know if he is involved in any other criminal activity too...And all this outside my apartment. Please could you advice me what to do?

Unless there is something to report then no. It looks as though they're just getting on with things.

louwhoo 21/09/2015 at 4:51 pm

So I have this neighbor that just moved in accross the street. Before we knew for sure they were officially moving in a probation officer came by looking for the people we saw looking at the house she said she had 3 different addresses for them and couldnt find the couple at any of them. She simply said dont trust them if they move in and left it at that. A week later the people she was looking for moved in. Or at least we assumed...because even though a moving truck sat in front of the house for a week we never some anyone move anything in or out. Then it was just gone. A few days later there was another moving truck but again never saw anything go in or out. Now that a month has gone by we have seen the people maybe 3 times and they never say hi. Most of the windows in their house are blacked out and the ones that arnt never have any light coming from them...in 2 months i feel i should see some kind of light at night, but never do. and random cars come and go throughout the night. Should I report thjs?

ProblemNeighbours Editor 24/08/2015 at 2:13 pm

You could report it?

pepe 21/08/2015 at 6:14 pm

I am 100% sure my neighbour is involved with drugs. Either drug dealing or buying drugs. Iv never had a problem with any neighbours but this is all new to me because we have recently moved and I want to report it as I have a 7 yr old boy!! What do I do??

?? 13/08/2015 at 3:39 am

So I have this neighbor don't know her name. All I know is she calls the cops on my cleaning lady coming over, my Gardner, anyone else who comes to my home to help me. I'm disabled need help right. . It's leaf to legal problems attorney fees and the bi÷!#^ continues. She complains to police home owners association and other neighbors. I'm tired of it. . I'm wanting to know what I can do. . If my birds let out a peep the cops are at my door but everyone else's viscous dogs and screaming brats can make all the noise they want day or night. . We own the house can't move. . Just dumped a ton of money into my yard. . What do I do. It's beyond retarded, she's never came to my door or said a freaking word to me.

Seven86 03/08/2015 at 12:30 pm

My neighbour has assaulted myself and my 2 year old son by running a hose on us, has physically hit my partner when he was fixing his tractor in our farm yard, she's permanently screaming foul words at my liveries, she started screaming at me and my now 4 year old son the other day calling me an f'ing c, and yesterday called a 15 and a17 year old who were catching their ponies f'ing scum. She is mentally ill. All the police say is take a civil action. My son is terrified of walking past her house, she is just horrid beyond belief. The police didn't prosecute her for attacking my partner and they said there was insufficient evidence when she attacked my son And I, plus she "left the country for 6months" and the police said after 6 months they can't do anything. Not to mention her hosing a young horse with an elderly rider in our field over her hedge, and later that day her husband beating one of the horses over a barbed wire fence because it had got into her garden. We land lock her house. The farm has been in our family for 3 generations, she moved in with her now deceased husband, no one is interested.

This may constitute a legal 'nuisance' which includes: * An activity that is harmful or annoying for others * The harm caused by the activity * the legal liability that arises from the combination of the two. You have a right to quiet enjoyment of your property and if this smoking interferes with that you could take action. Your environmental health officer is your first port of call.

jam 05/07/2015 at 11:01 am

My neighbour is constantly smoking drugs in the garden and the smell is very bad. So much so that my grandchildren often ask me what the smell is. I live in a terraced house and the proximity of the neighbouring garden is very very close..The smoker is within 3ft of me and my family, just parted with a small wooden fence. He smokes most of the day, and often is smoking weed in the garden well into the early hours of the night. I have a disabled daughter who, due to mobility and behaviour problems has her bedroom downstairs. The smoking is within 3 ft of her bedroom window and often even with window closed I can still smell it. Is there any action I can take, other than confronting this man, which I would feel under threat doing.

Big mamma 23/06/2015 at 2:32 pm

We fell out with our neighbours over 4/5years ago over our chimney and the stuff that comes out of it . It was the year of the really bad winter and there was no wind to take the soot etc that comes from a chimney away. So instead as well as any where else it was landing on my neighbours car s o he asked us not in a polite manner to get our chimney fixed my husband politely told him that there was nothing wrong with it so ever since they have not spoken to us at all. The no talking I could take but when he is stopping workman completing ajob but they need access to his property is a bit much. We have absolutely no idea where or what to do to resolve this situation neither has the company who is doing the job.??

kaz 21/05/2015 at 6:40 pm

Lou you can file in court for an injunction or a harassment order and these are cheap. You go direct to court to get the paperwork and you file it yourself for small fees unless your on certain benefits you can get a fee exemption form so you don't have to pay. Keep a record of what she is doing as you will need to provide proof when you file the paperwork. Also you could ask a solicitor to send her a letter about her slander and constant harassment its about £80 an if that didn't work you'd do the injunction or harassment order.

Lou 15/05/2015 at 11:35 am

My neighbour and I fell out as I told her that I would not be taking her daughter to school anymore. She proceeded to send abusive texts and slandered me. I went to her house and confronted her (I shouted admittedly) but I stuck to the fact that it wasn't my responsibility to take her child to and from school. She has since sent abusive messages to me and started kicking my door. I informed the police who told her to stop any form of communication. She ignored this and started ranting about me on Facebook and saying I barged into her house and broke her door and just told a whole load of lies which incited people who don't even know me to comment on what should be done to me. Again I informed the police who said she is entitled to say what she likes as it's her opinion. She then made threats through a third party to 'destroy or damage' me. Again, the police say this is not harrassment as it is through a third party and there's no law against that. She has now contacted my ex-husband and my cousin (who he left me for last year) to join forces with them! I feel bullied, distressed and intimidated but apparently unless she makes a direct threat to harm me or actually physically hurts me I can't do anything. Furthermore, I cannot afford legal help and she knows this and has mocked me about it via text. Please please please - is there anyone out there who can help me nip this in the bud!

ProblemNeighbours Editor 05/05/2015 at 11:41 am

@Fed upof being si. Have you reported the smell to your environmental health officer? They will come and investigate and will probably be able to recognise the smell and report it to the police on your behalf.

Fed up Of feeling si 03/04/2015 at 10:16 am

I suspect my neighbours of growing and dealing weed. Everyday I can smell it. There is a weird smell in my attic that wasn't there before he moved in. About a months or ago the smell was that strong I couldn't even go outside without almost being sick. I have been told my people he deals and a while ago we saw him taking what looked like filters and some sort of silver stuff into my house. My friend that was with me said that looks like stuff for growing weed. The guy himself is pleasant enough although we have had the odd run in and I have asked him a couple of times to smoke his weed indoors so we don't have to smell it but he still hasn't done that. My days of enjoying my garden have gone. I can't have my windows open much now either and sometimes it's even on my washing so I have to wash it again. I'm not sure what to do. Who to speak to or anything g but it's making my life miserable. He also has 3 bull mastiffs in his bk garden that bark almost constantly. Im prone to fits at the moment and the situation with have a potential drug dealer next door to me does not help my health.

ProblemNeighbours Editor 20/01/2015 at 12:55 pm

@mattnbex. Keep on at the police and the landlord whenever there is any sign of a disturbance. Also, the environmental health department of your local authority might be able to help with the smoke and noise issues.

mattnbex 16/01/2015 at 11:46 pm

Me n my girlfriend live above a complete druggy and the smell constantly comes into our flat even through closed doors and windows, hes also a violent pig who we have caught and heard verbally abusing his "16 year old girlfriend" its even got to the point where the girls mother and friends have been banging on his doir at all hours shouting and arguing, the police were informed last week of this and eventually over 2 hours later they turned up to break up the disturbance in the street. I'm really sick of this but it seems the housing asdociation or the police wont do anything about it

Beech 01/01/2015 at 5:28 pm

Would any of you like me to come around and break your nasty neighbours legs? I do not do this by the way but I was told this was one way to stop them.

I was told by someone who had moved twice that the police do nothing and what worked was sending a aggressive man to 'have a word'. My view is that these nutters will come back after the word has been said because they are nutters. Sadly without evidence but the police do not collect evidence so the onus is on the victim to

a. put up secret cameras to film any incidents
b. pay vast sums of money to prosecute them
c. live in hell for the year while the case goes to court.

However they do send these nutters to jail, if you are lucky. I wondered if there might be a business in providing the witness for you all. By that I mean that the nutters will be in no way suspecting a person was hired to wait for their activity and then to act as a witness. I was thinking of setting up a business as it seemed to me that many, many of these people have been doing these things for years and like Fred and Rose West they are ignored by local police.

Its a really weird country when you think that Fred and Rose West had neighbours, Fred was known by locals as psycho and violent and yet they got away with years of murder, even their own child, and buried them in a garden.

The problem is that any minor investigation by any public body would have to protect you all as it is likely the nutters would blame you (even if you did nothing at all).

for some time the neighbours in the area have been giving us some trouble fir it was the next door neighbour (Asian) stating that we was racist and all that crap now its a little sh*t stirrer over the other side who is constantly harassing me and my mother this has been going on for years.
The other day I caught him doing a bit of peeping tom which is violation of privacy.
So I gave him the finger which he didn't like but because I'm bigger that him he disappeared from view in the past I haven't stood up for my self.
Well now I am and you know what it feels good

We have lived next door to the neighbours from hell for over 7 years....the man who lives there, Steve, is supposedly from a gang family (according to him..like a sort of threat) but in hiding and no one knows his surname. They have been harassing us over parking access the whole time. Steve's wife, Ms L.is unhinged and when she is annoyed rings our doorbell and runs off (she is over 40) or wheelspins the car or shouts abuse. They have turned really nasty recently, including encouraging their 7 year old boy to shout things at us over the fence at me and my wife.
Steve does not work (but has lots of cash!!!)and is a very shady character who thinks he is above the law. The police have been utterly useless, including telling me that harassment is not a criminal offence, well I have news for you, it is! And they use this tactic to protect our neighbours and not do anything to help. This is why you have tragic cases where things went completely out of hand.
We are going to move to get away from the scum next door, they relish making decent peoples' lives a misery.

I strongly suspect that my neighbours are smoking and dealing cannabis. There is constantly people visiting them and only staying fora matter of minutes and we are unable to have any windows/doors open at the back of our house due to the strong smell. I have also seen people using a gate roynd the back if their house which leads onto a field. My Daughter often asks what the smell is and I don't want to have to tell her the truth.
